Very nice!

I think as much as I'd like an '03 or a '17 Enfield (saw one at a gunshow couple months back for $375) I think the M1816s are calling me. Haven't bought a musket in a while and I'm wanting one after 2 Mosin Nagants, 2 Lee Enfields, and a Gewehr 1888. I think I might go to a gunshow this weekend (the big Wanemacker's in Tulsa, Oklahoma) and see if there is anything there that tickles my fancy, and if not will place a call to you guys Monday morning. That or I'll just call Thursday morning and beg for overnight shipping :)

Just a question though, you guys wouldn't happen to sell flints too would you? I still have some .672 cal balls laying around for my Armi Sport Model 1842 and, so if possible I'd like to just get some flints in the order too so I can...uh...spark test (yeah that's it) right out of the box. If so how much extra would it be? Getting excited, I've wanted one of these since February!
